Arabia (עֲרָב, arav; Ἀραβία, Arabia). The region east and south of the Levant, and also name of a Roman province from ad 106–636. Historically, Arabia included part or all of the land from the Red Sea in the west to the Persian in the east, and from the Anti-Lebanon Mountains and Euphrates River in the north, to the Indian Ocean in the south. The word “Arabia” is probably derived from “arabat” or “araba”—a Semitic word denoting “desert.”
